STRENGTHS
A German national who played high school football in Europe, Mark Nzeocha is a high-motor athlete with NFL potential. He's a versatile player who has spent time at linebacker and safety, and you see that footwork on film. He's compact but with long arms and big hands and uses his size well as a tackler. Nzeocha was a playmaker for Wyoming, and he shows good range, good play speed and the instincts to attack the ball.
WEAKNESSES
A season-ending knee injury will have a big impact on Nzeocha's draft stock. He wasn't able to run at the combine and may not be able to before the draft. He's an older prospect (25) and, coupled with the injury, could fall into a priority free-agent position. His technique against the run needs work, and his football instincts are still very raw. Asking him to contribute early will be a reach given his injury and the limited ability to diagnose plays that he shows on film. Update: Nzeocha was not able to workout at his pro day due to injury.
